Purifying Mantra Chapter 128 Opening the Coffin

My whole body is sticky with sweat, making it difficult for me to toss and turn to sleep. I will collect dew first tomorrow. If I can come back at night and take a good bath, I can treat it as a reward for living one more day.

How do you say something? When a person is about to die, his eyes are filled with memories. This is how I am now. As soon as I close my eyes, I see my mother. Her trembling lips and evasive eyes always want to talk to me more, but I don’t know where to start, and she is afraid of annoying me as soon as she opens her mouth. .

She always reached out to touch me hesitantly, fearing that I would throw her away. I saw all this, and it was overwhelming in my heart. Uncle Gang was the eternal barrier between us. I couldn't resist the sadness of being abandoned, so I couldn't get close to my mother anymore.

Now that I think about it, I am really childish and ridiculous. When faced with life and death, I don't have those delicate feelings. I only have regrets. Not being able to properly arrange her future life is the biggest knot in my heart that I can't leave with peace of mind.

My mother's figure gradually disappeared, and what came to me was Xiaoda. We always put our arms around each other and laughed, and when we faced big things, we stayed close together to support each other. This brother who was not related to me by blood made me feel lonely in my life. I feel the warmth of my family in the world, but it also brings me a lot of troubles. Even so, I am still grateful for his appearance, because with him, I have an extra care in the world.

Xiaoba smiled and waved away, and Mu Mu's melancholy and downcast eyes appeared in my mind. I have been copying Xiaoba's way of warming me up, so that he can be happy too, but what I have done is far from enough. Now I still put the only The jade lock that connected Uncle Qiming's clues was lost. It was the only flame burning his melancholy.

Shan Yu, the thorn in my heart, hurts even if I touch it or not.

I opened my eyes and found that the sky was already covered with red clouds, and I actually fell asleep! I looked at my watch and climbed up quickly. Time was running out. It would take more than two hours to go up the mountain, down to the lake, and then down to the cave. Five hours would be lost each time, and now I was driving continuously. The preparations for the coffin haven’t been made yet! What a mistake.

Because I moved too violently, my ears buzzed, and my headache came on so quickly that I was caught off guard. I quickly searched for the headache powder and swallowed two packets. After a while, my stomach started to hurt again. The churning pain made big beads of cold sweat on my forehead hit the beach, and then disappeared instantly. I quickly took off my T-shirt to avoid getting wet with cold sweat, and climbed up persistently. While collecting dew, I cut open the tree trunk to collect drinking water.

I drank some water and felt much better. I collapsed under the tree and looked at the tree trunk with gurgling sap. I have so much wood, it shouldn't be difficult to build a big ship! No! It’s difficult! In addition to the utility knife, shovel, and the bracket of the temporary observation tower, I don't even have a saw. How can I build a boat?

Boat? It suddenly occurred to me that there was a scene in a tomb robbery movie where a coffin was used as a boat to escape. I wonder if it would work in reality. There happened to be a sealed coffin under the cave. But dragging such a coffin here is also a big project! Calculate! Let’s open the coffin first.

After I had a full stomach, I quickly went up the mountain, picking up a lot of big leaves along the way. I tried my best to split the tree stems with a knife and threw them at the bottom of the lake. It would be nice if I could light torches along the way down to the cave. I thought of the shark oil brewed by Ma Tiantong and others. It turns out that the ever-lasting firelight is so precious.

In order to economize on the use of the Wolf Eye flashlight, I repeatedly confirmed that there was no flammable gas in the cave before I dared to light an open flame. Replace using burning tree poles along the way. Back in the main hall, the five coffins were the same as yesterday. What difference could there be? I smiled to myself. Three fires were lit around the main hall. The flames could not completely resist the darkness, and only turned the darkness into a faint light.

I stood in front of a coffin on the outside and opened my wolf eyes to carefully examine the gaps in the coffin. Fortunately, there are no nails in these coffins, and the coffin lids are not like the sliding joints seen in ordinary movies. Instead, they have hinges like doors and can be opened to one side.

Isn't this a pharaoh's coffin? I muttered, holding my breath and using the shovel to pry open the rusty door latch. At this moment, my mind is filled with horrific scenes. The door will suddenly pop open by itself, and the skeleton in the coffin is so hungry that it rushes towards me with its mouth open...

However, none of this happened, because when I chopped off the entire door latch and dropped it to the ground, there was a loud ringing of bells all around, but the coffin door was still closed tightly, as if the door latch was just a decoration.

I shivered, and a burst of anger burst out from my chest. I inserted the shovel between the door and the coffin, and shook it vigorously. Amidst the noisy ringing, I heard the sound of the coffin cracking, and then " With a bang, the entire coffin door fell down and hit the ground, raising a cloud of moss and ash, and the iron chain holding the middle coffin also fell to the ground. I took a closer look and saw that the iron chain leading to the inside of the coffin door ended in a ring, and the ring was now covered with a pair of moss-covered arm bones.

I cautiously took a peek inside the coffin, and saw a corpse that had long since turned into bones still standing firmly inside the coffin. The inside and outside of the coffin and the body were covered with dried moss, and clothing fibers hung from the bones. The style and color could not be seen at all, so it was impossible to tell who he was, and there was no way to know when he died.

Perhaps because of my experience in Huaishu Cave, I am less afraid of skeletons. After all, things that are breathing are scarier than things that are not breathing. Apart from exuding a cold air, they can no longer smell anything else.

The ends of the iron chains leading to the coffin on both sides of the coffin are also tied with rings. The rings are put on the ankles of the corpse. Is this a kind of criminal law? This man has committed such a big crime that he will be punished even after death.

I shook my head and came to the second coffin. Based on my previous experience, I pried open the coffin three times, five times, five times and two times. There is nothing new. The internal structural devices of the coffins are the same, including the position and shape of the bones. I doubt whether they are twins. It could also be quadruplets.

The third and fourth coffins were all pried open. Except for the fourth coffin, there was nothing special. There were no identifying decorations on the bones, not even a single distinctive tooth. But why is this fourth coffin empty? Were there no bones in the first place, or were they stolen?

I used a shovel to fiddle with the iron rings inside the coffin, and I came up with a new idea. There was also a possibility that the people inside were not dead and had escaped. Because I found that the iron ring cannot restrain the person in the coffin. If the head of the iron ring is big enough to fit in, how can it lock the person. I kind of regret opening the store so rashly and not checking it carefully.

Finally, there's the big guy in the middle. I bet the people inside won't be able to escape. I carefully dismantled the iron chains wrapped around the outside of the coffin. I don't know why there was a slight cool breeze in the sweltering cave. How strange? So he speeded up his hand.

When I stood in front of the big coffin, I was still shocked. Although the entire coffin is not as spectacular as imagined, it is dark, square, without any decoration, and there are no golden characters. It does not feel like the other four sarcophagi, more like completely dried paint, but standing in this black There was an inexplicable feeling of oppression in front of the coffin.

I carefully searched for the gap to open the coffin, and found that the coffin door was sealed tightly by pouring copper water. This is a bit difficult to do. I don't have a hammer or a chisel, so it's difficult to clean out the condensed and rusty copper water.

As he was rummaging through his backpack anxiously, the coffin door made a slight "click" sound. I shrank aside in shock, swallowing and waiting for the coffin door to pop open on its own. Time passed by minute by minute, and there was no more sound.

I held up the flashlight, held the shovel tightly and moved forward. I discovered that the sound just now was caused by the cracking of solidified copper water. Is it a God-given opportunity, or is it a ghost coming out of the mountain? Anyway, let’s open it later.

I put the shovel into the gap, shook and twisted, and the copper pieces between the gaps in the coffin fell little by little. Seeing the gap getting bigger and bigger, my heart tightened.

I made a mistake and looked for it several times without finding the latch. Finally, I found that the coffin had to be tipped down to open the coffin lid. The lid of this coffin was a pull-out type. The coffin was very heavy, and the chains holding the coffin roared when I pushed it to the ground. I ignored the extra sounds like a man possessed and concentrated on fighting against the coffin lid.

The beam of the Wolf Eye flashlight actually reflected golden light when it hit the coffin. I was stung by this light and narrowed my eyes slightly. After his eyes adjusted to the light, he finally saw the big man inside the coffin.

The entire inside of the coffin has been poured with brass water, and it is filled with green color. This is why the coffin is sealed but does not float on the water.

The skull was embedded in the center of the solidified copper block, leaving a large gap between the bones and the copper blocks, presumably caused by the decay of the muscles.

The bones have not been eroded by moss, and are white and slightly yellow. A large rust-colored iron nail is inserted between the eyebrows. The tail of the iron nail is connected to an iron chain. The end of the iron chain is a ring. This ring tightly fastens the bones. There is no gap in the hands. What surprised me the most was that the body of the corpse was tightly wrapped in a gold shawl.
